Lord Carlile¬†Q.C.’s reports¬†of on the operation of¬† the Terrorism Acts 2000 and 2006¬†in each of the years 2001-2008 may be accessed via the above link, together with the government’s responses to those reviews.

Lord Carlile’s final report (on the operation of the Terrorism Acts in 2009, published in 2010) is missing from the sequence and may be found here.¬† There was no formal response to that report by the Coalition Government, which however set out its thinking in¬†its Review of Counter-Terrorism and Security¬†Powers¬†in January 2011.

On 8 April 2009, a North West counter-terrorism unit (NWCTU) investigation, conducted in conjunction with Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and the Metropolitan Police Forces, resulted in the arrest of 12 Pakistani students for their alleged involvement in a terrorist plot. This investigation¬†was known as Operation Pathway.

I am grateful for this opportunity to discuss my work, and my Annual Report published last week. I am also hoping to be accompanied by some who met me at community round tables held by Forward Thinking last year. https://t.co/notXy9h1s7,Jan 29
